Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated ipmitool packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.
Description
The ipmitool package contains a command-line utility for interfacing with
devices that support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
specification. IPMI is an open standard for machine health, inventory, and
remote power control.
This update fixes the following bug:
- In cases of congested networks or slow-responding BMCs (Baseboard Management
Controller), the reply operation timeout triggered the protocol command retry
action. Consequently, the ipmitool utility could incorrectly process a LAN
session protocol command with the reply from a previous protocol command. This
update fixes handling of expected replies for each command alone and cleans up
expected replies between commands. Now, the retried reply of the first command
is correctly ignored while the later command, which is currently pending, is
properly processed in the described scenario. (BZ#990960)
Users of ipmitool are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug. After installing this update, the IPMI event daemon (ipmievd) will be
restarted automatically.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
